The articles I have researched outline the contributing factors of mental health in black communities.
Through narratives, statistics and policies we see the ways in which historically, communities of color have experienced unique and substantial challenges in accessing mental health services and adequate responses to addiction and trauma.
Moving forward these platforms offer solutions such as fundamental transformation of the system that acknowledges trauma in context to one’s environment. Educational outreach is also at the forefront of a root solution outlined in the articles researched and acknowledging existing disparities is essential to moving forward with the mental health and addiction in black communities.
